Hi Paweł,

The early reset driver doesn't ever probe, which causes consuming
devices to be unable to probe. Add an empty driver to set this device
as available, allowing consumers to probe.

If we can just let devlink delay all consumers until the empty driver is
probed, does the reset controller have to be registered early at all?
